Bowsprite, your drawings are so alive, far more so than most illustrations – they convey spirit. The blue splotches in this drawing – which (unlike the carefully drawn parts of the boat) are neither recognizable renditions of air or water but have been applied with the same random ‘wet’ science each element embodies – are one example of your almost zen-like artistry which your blog readers enjoy so much! And which an art historian is trained to desire to attempt to capture in words….🙂
